Good Eats | Turkey Chili

Attention: Any pictures marked with "Nina Mosley Type | Blog" belong to me, from another blog belonging to me.

I know this is the wrong season and Chili is not a popular Summertime food, but I have been craving Chili and Soup for a week or so now, and I finally decided to make some. It's as simple as regular Chili, just add Ground Turkey instead of Ground Beef, and I added black beans instead of kidney beans.

Ingredients:

Ground Turkey

Diced Tomatoes

Black Beans

Chili Packet

Red, Yellow, Green & Orange Bell Peppers

Red Onion

Seasonings of your choice (mine are pictured below)

Begin by browning your Ground Turkey and once browned, add in veggies (they're definitely optional).

Once the veggies are added, season the mixture to your liking. Whatever seasonings you use are totally up to you, the ones I used are pictured below.

Don't mind my hungry children in the background. :) And I definitely didn't use Mrs. Butterworth.

The order is optional, but I added in my Black beans first, gave it a stir. Then my tomatoes, another stir. And finally my Chili packet aaaaand another stir.

Put a lid on it and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or however long the packet says.

And this is my final result! I garnished mine with a little shredded cheddar, sour cream, and cilantro and it was delicious!

Enjoy!

Good Eats: Linguine with Tomato Cream sauce, Spinach & Shrimp!

I posted a picture of this dish on my Facebook and Instagram pages a couple of days ago and got a lot of requests for the recipe. So instead of sending it to each and every person individually, I decided to post it here so that anyone could get it. Now, when I cook I don't use and precise measurements, I never measure anything, unless I'm baking, so the measurements listed here are estimates of what I used, not the actual measurement. So, here you guys go, enjoy! Oh, and if you make this, send me a picture so that I can see how yours turned out, or if you have a question, shoot me an email.

Good Eats: Shrimp Pasta with Homemade Tomato Sauce

This is a great recipe, quick and simple. Homemade is always better anyway!

Here's what you need to make the sauce:

• 2 1/4 pounds unrefrigerated ripe tomatoes (preferably plum)
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (from 2 garlic cloves), plus more if desired
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound spaghettini (I used thin, wheat spaghetti, it's your choice)
• Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

Finely chop tomatoes, basil, parsley, and garlic, and mix together with oil (or pulse ingredients, including oil, in a food processor to blend).

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, and toss it in a serving bowl with the raw sauce. Transfer to 6 shallow bowls, and drizzle with oil. Serve with cheese.

As for the shrimp, you'll need at least a pound, or whatever suits your fancy. Season to your liking and toss in a skillet drizzled with olive oil and let them do their thing. I allowed mine to cook at little on one side before I started tossing and turning to cook it evenly. For about 7-10 minutes I believe. Toss them with the sauce and there you have it!

 Enjoy!

Good Eats: Stuffed Flank Steak

Hello my fellow "foodies" ... This was a meal that I prepared some time ago, in April, I believe. It was Stuffed Flank Steak (stuffed with spinach, red peppers and goat cheese), we had it with garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes and asparagus. I received so many compliments from Facebook friends and family, so I decided to go ahead and share the recipe with you all. The recipe was actually found on Pinterest, boy do I love me some Pinterest. I tried it out and I loved it, though the next time I make it I'll be making some adjustments. You may like it as the recipe calls for, but I'll change up a few things. If you're following me on Pinterest, you can find this and plenty more recipes. But if you're not, HERE is the link for it.

Good Eats: Caramel Chex

I made this yummy concoction for my “kids” the other day, and I fell in love with it myself. It’s very rich and sweet, just like kids like it!

In a pot, combine:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup butter

1.5 cups marshmallows

Heat and stir on medium, until everything is combined and almost bubbling. I also sprinkled a smidgen of salt in as well, but that's for my taste, you don't have to add it. Then throw in a handful of chocolate chips and stir until it is combined as well. Then put about 2 cups of Chex cereal into a bowl. 

Once the contents of the pot come to slight boil, pour it on top of the cereal and stir, stir, stir until all of the cereal is well coated. After that, pour the contents of the bowl onto a non-greased baking sheet. Spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray to spread it out onto the sheet. Then sprinkle marshmallows and chocolate chips on top (this is totally optional) and let it cool.

We ate some of ours while it was still warm, I guess we’re greedy like that. But it tastes just as good when it’s cool. That’s it, super easy and yummy. Perfect for a family movie or game night, or just to have as a snack.

Enjoy! :)
